Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes and if you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of our services.

These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas right here at Lakewood.

I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

Thank you for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today.

I'd like to start with something funny. One day, Adam was feeling very lonely.

God said, Adam, I'm going to make you a companion. It's going to be called a woman.

This person will cook for you, wash your clothes, she will bear you children, never ask you to get up in the middle of the night.

She will not nag you, she will agree with every decision you make.

And if you ever have a disagreement, she'll be the first to admit she was wrong.

Adam said, wow, God, what will a woman like this cost? God said an arm and a leg.

Adam said, what can I get for a rib and the rest is history.

Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert.

My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus' name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about making deposits everywhere you go.

The way to make a deposit is to make people feel better about themselves.

When you give a compliment, you look nice today.

A great job on that presentation at the office.
